Under the 4th point beneath the heading of duties and responsibilities under my job description is the following: Recruit and train youth leaders to assist by: a) Pursuing other mature, capable and responsible adults and interns to help minister to the youth b) Organizing volunteers to help with additional programs such as youth small groups, after school ministries, and service projects. I realize that this is the task that I have been falling very short of accomplishing. Prayer is essential as I re-align my focus, and seek the power, strength, and discernment to find and implement the right leaders for ministry here at Epiphany. We cannot go at it alone! This is so true and it's not just true because it is a part of a job description. I like the idea of building a team from within and we have gained many of our Summer interns through this strategy. It is also so true that it is of equal importance to treat your team well after they come on board and to appreciate them and train them to do what God has called them to do.

We cannot go at it alone! This is so true and it’s not just true because it is a part of a job description.
